>> the works of lewis fa reform akan. >> i will be a no vote on this. this is a way that they are going to prepay the advancement of their socialist agenda. ♪ ♪ >> good morning, everybody. it is friday march the fifth, 2021 and we start this hour of "fox & friends" with fox news alert. a new bombshell report claims that top aides to governor cuomo pushed health officials to underreport vastly thousands of coronavirus nursing home deaths. a senior adviser to the governor pushing back saying the out of facility data was omitted after d of course h, department of health could not confirm it and it had been -- that it had been completely verified. this did not change the conclusion of the report. so in other words, they didn't think it was accurate. ainsley: state officials say more than 15,430 residents died

in nursing homes or long-term facilities. this as cuomo faces sexual harassment allegations from 3 different women. one of them speaking out for the first time. >> he was propositioning for you? >> yes. >> did you watch apology? >> i did. it's not an apology. >> well, governor cuomo issued an apology earlier this week following those claims, 31 new york lawmakers are calling for his resignation but he's made it pretty clear, guys, he's not going to resign. charlotte bennett, we know about her, knew her. it's pretty unbelievable. it looks like staffers got involved with health officials changing numbers so governor cuomo could write a book that made him look more successful and dodge culpability when it came to deaths.

don't you find it amazing, steve, they were worried about 9,000, they are not going to publish the number in june. okay, it ends up being 15,000 and that number they didn't like and when pushed, they blame it on, well, it was staffers at nursing homes who brought it in and blame the federal government. i never bought either one of these. if they were so proud of the two statements, what did they run from these numbers? steve: it had to do with the july report. the number that they wanted to print, the actual number was 10,000, but instead they wrote 6400 because then they said it was only the people who actually died at the nursing homes so they were going with the fine print. they did not count the people who were dying in the nursing homes that were taken to the hospital and then died at the hospital even though they had gotten it there. they were trying to make the numbers look as good as possible and then, of course, the

administration waited 8 months to give the totals. they stonewalled the media and stonewalled people who lost family members there and, ainsley, this is just one of the two scandals facing him, you have the nursing home scandals and you have the accusers as well. ainsley: exactly, you don't report the accurate numbers and ask others to cover it up, it is criminal, you make us wonder can you trust that leader. >> not that guy. ainsley: exactly. charlotte bennett was in another network and she's a sexual harassment victim and asked personal questions, things like do you have trouble being with a man because of everything that you've been through, the trauma that you've been through. she was 22 and he was 60's and he implied being with somebody that young and if the media played a role, this is what she

said. >> and obviously stressful for all of us and he was on tv nearly every day talking about it. >> so you think all this national attention may have emboldened him? >> absolutely. he felt that he was untouchable in a lot of ways. ainsley: brian, it's hard to watch that because she was so young and she was mentor to her and i know that he's innocent until proven guilty, they'll be due process but this independent investigation is starting and hopefully we will get some answers. brian: yeah, you have the staffer that came out a couple of months ago and didn't want to do any interviews and charlotte comes out and does an interview last night and you have the situation at the wedding and he said, i apologize, but she doesn't consider that an apology. there's going to be more of this. i think what governor cuomo feels he can stare down the de blasios, he will outrun them but what he can't do is outrun women

who feel as though they were harassed who seem as believable as charlotte seems and has an attorney general doing thorough investigation. at the very least it seems to blow up his fourth term and wonder if he's going to get through 2022 and look back at the nursing home situation too and i would argue is a bigger story because you have 15,000 deaths and you think about what he did. he's got staffers down here who hid the numbers from health and remember, guys, two weeks ago, a dozen of governor cuomo's health officials walking out and you think what happened, why did they walk out? look out for the fall people that will fall and i don't know if they will take the blow. melissa de rosa, one to have people that did the report, --linda none of them had experience but changed the

document to help book sales believe it or not and help persona grow and as his esteem and ego get bigger. steve: somebody had to tell them, staff members to do it and sure looks like the governor, the guy at the top did it. brian: you would think. steve: in the meantime another gigantic story. we will turn to griff jenkins. griff, we knew the number was growing, but we didn't know it was growing this much. >> big numbers, indeed, steve, ainsley, brian, good morning. hhs who houses children caught at the border reports it has 7700 unaccompanied minors, right now highest level since 2019 in according to leaked document obtained by axios they are averaging 321 children per day. that's a jump from a weekly average of 203 at the ended of january and they are saying they're at 94% capacity to house

them. but there's still not calling it a crisis at the white house. >> certainly one of our concerns is that there are -- there is, you know, we were talking about earlier, influx of kids, rate in the pace that is going to require us to, you know, make considerations about where we are going to safely house them. griff: we are learning the white house is sending a team south. president biden asked senior members to travel to border region in order to provide a full briefing to him on government response to influx of unaccompanied minors and assessment of additional steps that can be taken. when the team gets there, they will find residence like emily king that are overwhelmed. >> overnight in the last 45 days we've seen more illegal traffic, car wrecks through our fences and then that leaves them scattering all over your land. we are up at night wondering who

is running around what their intentions are. griff: this as migrant camp in tijuana, the same one we visited in 2019 after caravans have reportedly to 1,000 to local affiliates in san diego, as for the white house border trip unclear exactly where they will go, maybe california or perhaps texas where border patrol agents told me yesterday they are getting absolutely hammered in one sector like del rio, 350% high in single adult apprehensions and 102% in minors. ainsley: the numbers are incredible, thank you so much, griff. when you look at compared to the beginning -- trump was still president, 47 kids that were in hhs custody but look at late january, early february right after -- >> steve: per day. ainsley: right after biden takes office, 203 per day, these are children, some as young as 4

year's old. 321 kids per day. they are not calling that a crisis. they say it's a challenge. their facilities that they're housing them are at 94% capacity. it's a matter of days before it's 100% if not one day. governor greg abbott said the unconscionable act of releasing covid positive illegal immigrants which is another issue, puts lives of texans and americans at risk. the federal government alone has responsibility to test and quarantine illegal immigrants crossing our border who have covid. they didn't have resources and asked texas to aid in illegal immigration program. texas refused, he says. steve: if they don't have the resources, don't let them in. brian. brien: yeah, so stephen miller,

former senior adviser to president trump who dealt with policies at the border, seems like yesterday knows the ends and outs of it. he put reality to the test. >> 100% of minors traveling alone, many teenagers are being resettled and released throughout the united states, all 50 states but what they're not telling you is that most family units are being released too. we are seeing 4,000 apprehensions a day because word has spread not just in central america, but throughout the world that if you come as a family or as a minor you're going to be released. the majority of family units are now being released into the interior of the country and a lot of them are going to go into communities that don't have the hospital capacity or healthcare resources to deal with them. so this really exacerbates a public health crisis in addition to national security crisis.

brian: you can imagine how steve miller feels because he worked so and remain in mexico policy, building up the wall and letting everybody know, you're not going to get in by showing up, you will get deported, they actually solved the problem and biden blew it up. if you don't believe biden thinks it's a problem, he's sending staff. they're setting up an ellis island center, they say people will come in, they will get screen and get processed and they are going to be let into our country within 72 hours or deported but i sense they are going -- don't tell me that they're all testing negative for coronavirus. this is going to be incredible and the number is 500 families a day coming through.

steve: currently they are breaking the law and keeping people longer than they are supposed to do. we are telling you about people who are coming into the country and checked as they get on buses and a couple of days ago we told you how noun in ngos are taking people's temperatures and some 6% who are getting on the bus were testing positive. but they cannot stop them from getting on the bus and going throughout the interior of the united states. jen psaki said yesterday the biden policy for coronavirus testing, coronavirus testing should be -- is being done by the nongovernment organizations. and then if somebody tests positive they say you know what, you probably shouldn't go anywhere, we will give you a hotel room but they can't stop them and they are getting on the bus. jen psaki said the

administration guidance is if they test positive, somebody should social distance and wear a mask. so -- but that's the guidance. they are not saying no, you can't get on the bus. you probably should stay away from people so they are okay with putting people who are coronavirus positive on buses and just scattering throughout the united states of america. joe biden is trying to stop coronavirus but he is spreading it by allowing this to happen. ainsley: let's move onto this other topic, dr. seuss. people are outraged at ebay now for caving to the cancel culture because they have said they're not going to sell those 6 dr. seuss books again. a lot of people are trying to make money on this. they are putting books on ebay. ebay is currently sweeping our marketplace to remove these items. if you try to sell one of the books, they sent you a message that says as a courtesy we have ended your item and refunded your selling fees and as long as

you don't relist the item they'll be no negative impact to your account. brian, why don't you read it? brian: he said, we had to remove your listing because

ainsley: all right, let's hand it over to carley shimkus she has headlines. >> we think that our letter provides a strong mandate to do a new investigation. carley: they argue the probe has flaws due to chinese influence. scrapping plans to release interim report and instead will release the full report later this month. the department of justice quietly dismissing more than one-third of cases protests in portland last summer.

kegw reporting 31 cases where protestors clashed with federal agents and dismissed, misdemeanor and felony charges. mississippi's governor set to sign a bill banning transgender athletes from competing in female sports. several steps are taking out the controversial issue. an idaho athlete vowing to keep her fight to keep transgender women out of sports. >> human right activists say mississippi is on the wrong side. 600 miles wide discovered for the first time. look at that. it was invisible to the naked

eye but scientists found it while analyzing, researchers say it does not pose a threat but it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. my goodness. ainsley: first time it's ever happened. brian: go ahead, ainsley. ainsley: first time we have ever seen it. it happens elsewhere. carley: yeah. something that i haven't been before. it looks like it's from sci-fi movie. [laughter] brien: i'm so upset i got rid of my telescope as a child. guys, let me just tell you what's straight ahead.

us first off and then this. senate democrats pushing the nearly 2 trillion-dollar covid deal. the next big item on president biden's agenda is infrastructure and it won't be cheap. we will break it down.

steve: 6:24. beautiful shot of capitol dome. the senate will start debating $1.9 trillion relief bill. ainsley: the senate held a marathon session on the relief package overnight with senator ron johnson having clerks read all 628 pages of the plan out loud on the floor.

>> i ask consent to dispense with the reading. >> i object. >> the objection is heard the clerk will continue the reading. brian: so meanwhile president biden says he's okay with limiting stimulus checks kind of. >> limit the direct payments? >> yes. brian: no republican lawmaker is on board with the democrats wish list. what i find amazing of $1.9 trillion and i was able to watch a whole bunch of other channels. no one mentions in this bill as they are reading 600 plus pages that only 9% goes to the pandemic. how can that not be part of the story. republicans want to make this as painful as possible for the president and his party. no they are not. i will agree to 650 billion-dollar as a starting point and they don't hear of it.

these are some of the things that are concerned about. how could you not add into this -- the mindset here that one trillion already has not been sent and fearful of inflation because we are printing this money and spending on projects that are not pandemic related and some people think we are about to head warp speed in recovery in the spring. steve: senator from tennessee marsha blackburn. >> i will be a vote no on this. when you have a bill that only 9%, 9% is there for covid relief, the rest is going to arts, humanities, transportation, bailouts for the big blue states, this is a way that they are going to prepay the advancement of their socialist agenda. this is what they're going to use to say thank you to some of their big donors and fortunately

pelosi's subway. that earmark was pulled out because people were so up in arms. these things have nothing to do with targeted relief for americans who are suffering because of covid. steve: and to the republican's point, less than 10% is actually going to actual covid stuff. john kennedy, the senator from liz said yesterday, calling this a coronavirus bill is calling harvey weinstein a feminist. ainsley: i have a question, if it's 1.9 trillion, where do you come up with the number and if you pull out nancy pelosi's subway and chuck schumer's bridge, does that mean the 1.9 goes down and they find out the money goes somewhere else. i think this would pass with flying colors if it was just covid relief. the lawmakers shoving pet

projects that make americans irate. this is our money, folks. steve: it's going to pass and everybody is going to get a check and the average american that's why this poll so well and democrats are so happy with it, even though it's a gigantic number. people get a check. it's going to pass. ainsley: all the other stuff, all the other stuff costs a lot of money and finally people getting a check if it's covid relief. the new administration's decision to stop border wall construction giving drug cartels a clear path into the u.s., that's from one border county sheriff who says the new policies are creating the largest crime scene in the country. we will talk to the next sheriff.

by the way, this is a wall we already paid for. a decision that one arizona sheriff said left behind a roadway for smugglers. sheriff mark daniels is in charge of cochief county, he joins us now. we paid for the wall to be built along with the technology and along with the roads. now we are paying to move the wall, store the wall or destroy the wall and guess what, the illegals according to what you're telling us are using it to get into the country. in what way? >> well, good morning, brian. it's a product of politics within policing. and i've always said. they have no business in our -- in the business of policing and what we do on this border and our communities. when president biden rescinded the emergency order on the southwest border, it stopped resources and stopped construction on our border. as a result of that, one area where the fence is not complete, we get 5 or 6 groups a day coming across there. it's open up the border and

opened up to come into the country. this administration owns this decision and was doing this and forcing back to 2019 where i had the largest crime scene in the country to include the largest humanitarian situation going on. brian: so what we are seeing is still that is you guys sent us. >> these pictures come off our -- we have our own camera system with cbp. these pictures i'm showing you came off our camera system where you see the smuggling coming through our deserts. it's wide open right now. it's wide open and with the chaos going on in the border based on the administrative decisions and we saw this in 2019, brian, 141 countries breached our border, over a thousand gang members, 822 assaults on agents.

271 deaths on our border. this is a crime scene and this is what we just put together. we had it under control. this is frustrating and now t going back to 2019. it's frustrating. brian: i mean, i don't want to get you into politics, we just fired 15,000 people working on a pipeline that had zero impact on the environment and went to the border and blew it up for pure political purposes and made your life miserable and put our country in greater danger. keep in mind some of the numbers and the numbers don't die, border encounters in the fiscal year 2020-2021. 73,000 in december and 73,000 in january. vice president joe biden, they said it was a crisis, he called it a tragedy. that was 188 per day. today we are projected to have a 117,000 this year.

what's he going the call it then? what changed? >> well, politics change. politics change. ideologies change. it's hypocritical to be honest with you, brian. what we have seen in the past and where we are at today it's hypocritical by the administration. goes against grain of the dcd. i would love to hear dr. fauci which nobody is talking about the southwest border, they are not testing them, they are being released without being tested in the communities and you look at the public safety aspect of this. it's upsetting. it's almost like we are not part of the country which is very upsetting. brian: when was the last time someone asked you if you were democrat or republican. it has nothing to do with it. one is right and one is wrong. you said remain the mexico policy which has been blown up, you said new proposal by the mexican leader can bring 600,

700,000 illegal immigrants a year? >> just to give you an example, brian, in our camera system, 700 at a time, a year ago today we were running in our camera system 300 to 400 a month. in august when the policies kicked up we jump today 1200 a month. in december it was over 2500 entries to illegal entries let me say to include over 501 pounds of elicit drugs. it's skyrocketing, back the to the numbers we saw in 2019. the reason we have mpp and others president trump in place because of caravan surges. it worked. it's not working now. brian: yeah. sheriff, i feel bad for how your life changed because of pure politics, sheriff mark dannels, if they show up, tell them the truth. >> oh, i will. thank you.

brian: you got it. coming up straight ahead. the president taking heat from governors for lashing out at states lifting covid restrictions. we will talk to the governor of montana who says if making data reopening decisions, count him in. and from our "fox & friends" bet people, download fox bet super 6 app and play for a chance to win $10,000. all you need to do is predict 6 outcomes quiz show, topics range from entertainment to sports so news. it's free to play. download the fox bet super -- 6 appright now i'm draymond green with my subway sub with tender steak and melty cheese. my sub is gonna dunk all over your sub. excuse me? my sub has bacon. choose better be better

i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. subway eat fresh. i've been on and off oral steroids to manage my asthma. does that sound normal to you? it's time for a nunormal with nucala. my nunormal: fewer asthma attacks. my nunormal: less oral steroids. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. it targets and reduces eosinophils, a key cause of severe asthma.

steve: joe biden still taking heat for that blasting red states for lifting covid restrictions. montana governor greg tweeting, if making data-driven decisions to reopen, loving freedom is what a neanderthal, i guess you count me as one. guess who joins us now, the governor himself. good morning, governor. >> hey, steve, good to be with you. steve: good to have you as well. jen psaki said yesterday he was talking about the behavior of a neanderthal. he wasn't saying they were neanderthals, you're nodding your head no, what do you mean? >> for a president calling for unity, doesn't make any sense at all. as i said in the tweet, we are working to protect our most vulnerable, we lifted the mask mandate. we prioritized taking care of the people that are in most need

and we are getting great results, hospitalizations are down and montana is open for business. we are getting back to normal. steve: hold the phone. so you got rid of the mask mandate a month ago and the hospitalizations are going down, that's not what we are hearing from the administration. we have to be more careful. >> well, we are not out of the woods yet and montanans. we have 56 counties in montana, i have one county that's three times the size of rhode island with a thousand people in it. steve: right. >> we -- it doesn't make sense to implement one size fits all for the whole country. steve: sure, that's why they call it sky country. there's a lot of sky and a lot of land. it's beautiful. governor, i'm sure you have been hearing stories from

brownsville, texas where people are getting on the buses processed by border patrol and they have coronavirus. they are not stopping them. i just got an e-mail, what's the difference between governor cuomo knowingly sending people with covid back to nursing homes and president biden knowingly sending people with covid from mexico into american communities? >> well, it's not just the immigration, steve. in montana we are concerned about meth coming across the border. it's ripping our families and communities apart and opening the borders back up, it's just not good for our communities here in montana. steve: ultimately, and the news this morning is apparently in connecticut which is not a red state, it's a super blue state, the governor there is opening restaurants to full capacity, sports are going to resume, they sound more like montana there than new york where things here are still pretty locked down.

but when you look at what happened over the last year, maybe we didn't have to shut everything down. people figured out how to operate business and operate schools safely at a distance with the appropriate measures. >> well, we took decisive action when i got into office in january, we immediately got rid of the business restrictions, hours of operation, capacity limits, we've lifted the mask mandate and i think the biggest decision that we've made was to simplify our vaccine distribution to prioritize the most vulnerable and we've gotten great results and last week we were recognized as getting more shots in arms than any other state in the country. i'm proud of that. we are protecting the vulnerable and opening business back up. steve: very good, glad to hear your story from montana. governor, thank you very much. >> you're very welcome. thanks, steve. steve: have a good weekend. all right, it's about 13 and a half minutes before the top of the hour and janice dean joins

us with the fox and it's not as cold as it was a couple of days ago. janice: i know. a lot of people enjoying warmer temperatures and we will take it. look at that, 52 in memphis. 26 in chicago. it is a cold across the northeast with the winds you have the windchill but things will warm up into next week. we want to show you where we have showers and thunderstorms across the plain states happening and for the northwest, we've got this train of storms from the northwest towards northern and central california. that's the setup in the next couple of days and next week and potential for heavy rain across the coast and snow for the mountains and we could see the potential for blizzard conditions as well for the rockies as we get into the weekend. there's your forecast today. not too bad. we will watch showers and thunderstorms across the mississippi gulf coast into the southeast, chilly across the northeast but, you know, pretty nice and we are into a warmup

for next week for a lot of the count i. there's your silver lining. brian: you will be joining in about 15 minutes of nursing home revelations. we are getting the story from behind the scenes now. let's go to carley shimkus what has the other breaking news. carley: pope francis touching down to begin historic four-day trip. the pope going on visit despite pandemic and rest of security. very first papal visit to iraq. it's meant to show solidarity with dwindling christian community. he was greeted by christians and iraq prime minister at the airport. huh about that? the navy's uss nemitz returns home after voyage, completing a 321 someday deployment, the longest since vietnam.

now the pandemic extending its time away due to quarantine protocols. the ships now dock back in home waters in washington state. those are your headlines, guys. steve: carley, thank you very much. a new study shows the devastating toll that covid is taking on the mental health of america's teenagers. dr. nicole saphier says they are struggling in isolation. ainsley will talk to her next. no, can't you see the sign? wet. teddy. bears. get ya' wet teddy bears! one-hundred percent wet, guaranteed! or the next one is on me! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough!

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ainsley: disturbing new study revealing that covid-19 pandemic has taken a major toll on our teenagers and their mental health. the data showing a spike in anxiety, depression and self-harm. fox news medical contributor nicole saphier joins us now. hey, dr. saphier. this really hurts our eaters because the kids are ages 13 to 18. what are you seeing? >> so the study came out from a nonprofit organization that we rely on as healthcare providers to provide a lot of good data regarding health care. i want to be clear that what they are reporting here is the percent of mental health visits as a total of the entire medical claims. not necessarily the raw data but

the fraction of all medical claims that are mental health and you know what they showed us, it's something that we have been echoing for months now. our children are suffering from these -- the pandemic specifically the lookdown, the social isolation and being out of school. it echos a lot of the findings out of danish study and italian study and depressive and anxiety and other mental health but one of the endeavor stating things that i saw in the data percentage of claims during initial lockdown, doubled as fraction of percent of overall claims. overdoses, over 90%. substance abuse over 90% and those only got worse in april. ainsley, they seem to be get better in summer months as everyone is going out and feeling more freedom, there was a drastic increase in self-harm claims that occurred right as children were going back to school again and in my opinion, that really does coincide with

the anxiety children felt as they were being told that they weren't able to go back to in-person. ainsley: gosh, if you look at the numbers in april, 83.9% spike, major depressive disorder claim, 96.3 in anxiety claims. why do you think the reason is, i miss my friends, i feel lonely? doctor: you know, all of the above, ainsley, you're a mother and i'm a mother. i want to emphasize that it's not necessarily an 89% increase from the raw data but of the overall medical claims at a time where all medical claims decreased. children, we are all social creatures but children need structure, they need social interaction because that is how it's fundamental to development and if they're not getting that it's devastate to go mental as well as their physical health. that's something that we have been talking on this program for a year now, ainsley, and they are not following the science. they are not making it a priority to get children in school and it is just, we will

look back in a couple of and they'll be a lot of finger-pointing because people have done intentional harm to our children. ainsley: doctor, thank you for coming on. >> thank you. ainsley: who is protecting the police? that's the message from one florida congressman sharing on effort to defund the police. >> are you missing your children's birthday parties to respond to gang shootings?

>> vice president harris breaking the tie. >> entire varsity baseball team suspended for 2 weeks for lack of masks and lack of social distancing. ainsley: we begin with fox news alert. bombshell reports claim top aides to new york governor andrew cuomo pushed officials on coronavirus deaths. brien: omitted after doh could not confirm. this does not change the conclusion of the report. state officials now say that 15,330 residents lied in long-term care facilities. steve: as governor cuomo with

allegations of sexual harassment. >> did you watch governor cuomo's apology? >> i did. it's not an apology. steve: governor cuomo issued an apology earlier this week following the claims. 31 new york lawmakers calling for resignation. charlotte bennett sat down as you saw with cbs and it's interesting because she tells the back story, things we have not heard. she said she was called into the governor's office on june the fifth and wanted her to take dictation and as soon as she got there he said turn off the recorder and then he among other things he said, you know, i'm looking for a girlfriend, i'm lonely and i'm tired. she said, he implied to me that i was old enough for him and he said he was fine with anyone over 22. and so this is just one of the twin scandals facing the

governor. you have these allegations from the 3 women and then you have the blockbuster wall street journal story that says that his top aides back in july lied about the number of people who had died who had been in nursing homes because it was not a very good number. it was a gigantic number and so they pretty much cut it by 40%, ainsley. ainsley: i just think, gosh, if that were my daughter and governor cuomo has a daughter, he's still innocent until proven guilty and there's going to be independent investigation and there's due process but you just think, gosh, if they were my child and someone in her 60's and she's in her 20's doing that. i have a big problem with that. his approval rating back in may of last year was 72%, march 2021, 45%. it's gone down. i actually think that that's probably high. i wonder if they took the -- took it now after her interview and after all of the girls are coming forward. exactly. brian.

brian: right. so the wall street journal and new york times story that talk about health officials presented all of these facts and figures and it was his unqualified staffers who changed the report. they called it, these are the words of "the new york times", extraordinary intervention which came as cuomo was starting to write a book -- pandemic achievements and then comes the ag report and not 6,000, not 9,000 but 15,000 died who were put to hospitals, brought back into nursing homes. he has everybody butt himself to blame. for example. >> they want to say that the march 25th order brought covid, how covid went into the nursing homes. now, they coincidently leave out

that the march 25th order was done after guidance by trump's cdc and cms. covid did not get into the nursing homes by people coming to hospitals, covid got into nursing homes by staff walking into the nursing homes. why covid? why did god do this? but who cares? 33, 28 died in the hospital died in the nursing home, they died. brian: unbelievable and those callus remarks ring around the country. who cares, they died. we actually think that governor cuomo was going to explain to us why god did this. a person who has been there every step of the way. sadly she lost both of her unless to the coronavirus in

nursing homes within weeks of each other, janice dean joins us now. janice, this story moves substantially overnight. what for you is the most -- is the most grievous revelation? >> we knew that he was covering up the numbers and now we are getting more and more information and facts that this is true and the fact that melissa de rosa, top aide, was in on it to help cover up the numbers to downplay them, she was the one in the democratic lawmaker meeting behind closed doors, i'm so sorry from keeping the information from you, we were afraid of the doj investigation. they have never apologized to the families. 15,000 families that deserve an apology. the only thing the governor will be sorry for is the fact that he got caught and you know what, he needs to go to jail and all of

those around him. there's no if and or buts here. steve: i understand your frustration and i completely get where you're coming from. janice, as you think back a year ago when the numbers started going and then, you know, over a couple of months then it became kind of a trump versus cuomo where the media said, okay, trump is doing everything wrong and cuomo is doing everything right. and so when this actual number, the actual number was 10,000, but at probably his direction, his aide said, we will make it 6400 just so that it seems better. it is terrible if politics came into this just to make the president look bad or whatever, but nonetheless, the deception at this level is absolutely

unforgivable. janice: absolutely. we still don't know why the government didn't use the facilities provided by the federal government, the javits center, there is an fbi investigation and the curious thing is the governor has lawyered up not for the me too stuff which by the way is disgusting and he should be punished for but for the nursing home problem. lawmakers, lawmakers in albany need to start the process of impeachment. ainsley: i think they are working on it. a group of bipartisan individuals, lawmakers, they are calling for him to either step down or impeachment. how did we learn the latest information, janice? top advisers to cuomo, think were pushing according to reports the health officials to rewrite the death reports when it comes to nursing homes. are the health officials speaking about this, how did we

get this information? >> well, i think it's interesting that 9 of cuomo's top health officials quit. we got that information a couple of weeks ago so perhaps one of those health officials that was producing science to the governor and saying, hey, not a good idea to putinfected patients in nursing homes. maybe they are the ones that are coming forward and i appreciate all those that are coming forward but we need an independent bipartisan investigation with subpoena power now because i think the evidence will prove that this governor, his administration are all guilty of covering up the numbers and putting infected patients into nursing homes. brian: as we look forward to see what's next, you don't see the governor said anything. you see staffers did this. unless the staffers are going to flip, i could see he's going to do the same thing he did with the buffalo project where we lost billions of dollars and one of his best friends went to

jail. now you have linda, melissa de rosa and jim, former top adviser, all were telling, took the health report and changed it. it doesn't say governor cuomo changed it and you know he's not going to step up. i could actually say, i don't know why my staff did that. nothing to do with your book that you wanted to come out where you made yourself pandemic hero right before second wave slapped your shutdown city and keep your eye on that. janice, you're all over this, go ahead. janice: bottom line is as well, promoting that book and making money off of covid and our dead loved ones. disgusting, corrupt and it needs to be investigated. steve: and you just said he should go to jail. let's see what happens. jd, thank you very much for joining us live. it is 7:11 in new york city.

griff jenkins joins us as we learn the skyrocketing number of migrant kids crossing the border. this is the number that the administration did not want us to know. give griff that's right, steve, ainsley and brian, good morning, 7700 unaccompanied minors in their custody, highest level since 2019 and according to leaked document obtained by axios they are averaging 321 children per day, jump at the beginning of january and there are 94% capacity to house them and running out of room. now for comparison the last time then vice president biden faced these kind of numbers was in 2014 when 68,541 children crossed our border at an average of 188 per day. she then travel today guatemala back then saying, quote, when children travel hundreds of miles to reach the united states with their families -- without their families in the hands of criminals in the 21st century,

that's a tragedy. we all must take responsibility for the country from which they come and the country to which they are headed. now compare that to this year's projection of 117,000 for fiscal year 2021, but they are still not calling it a crisis at the white house. watch. >> certainly one of our concerns is that there are -- there is, you know, we were talking about earlier an influx of kids, a rate in the pace that is going the require us to, you know, make considerations about where we are going to safely house them. griff: now we are learning the white house is sending a team to travel to the border to assess what they call a challenge and report back to the presidentment when the team gets there, they'll find border patrol agents who tell me they are getting slammed. more than 120% increase in some sectors and 350% in adults in

del rio alone. that camp nou has reportedly swollen to as many as a thousand according to our local affiliate in san diego. brian, ainsley, steve. ainsley: thanks so much. you might think disturb does this really affect your life, well, it does for this lady. emily, she lives on the border in texas. her property is right on the edge. she lives in this house and she has a young child that appears in the interview that you're about to see, 1-year-old. imagine basically looking out of your window and seeing a group of illegal immigrants of these men that are walking through your property and you have your child at home. i don't know if they have weapons, i don't know if they have drugs, listen. >> in the last 45 days we have seen more illegal traffic, car wrecks right through our fences. we had two border patrol agents on our property trying to apprehend ten illegal immigrants

and those numbers just don't add up. they caught one and left 9 in the property, how do you feel at night with her 1-year-old in her bed trying to sleep as well. you don't know what these people's intentions are when they are on your property. you don't know if they are armed or carrying drugs or what, so, no, i don't feel that our communities are prepared for what we are seeing and probably going to see for much longer in the future. ainsley: you know what that tells me that too many of the individuals are crossing the border to even handle because she said the agenting were only able to apprehend one out of the ten on her property. there's so many that are coming over. that to me looks like a crisis, not just a challenge. we need to look at this as a crisis and we need to send more agents down there and make sure this doesn't happen because what if it's her child. what if someone dangerous does come across and walks in her house, what happens then?

brian. brian: we can't forget about new mexico and the tragedy that happened in california and what about arizona? sheriff danniels just joined us and what he's seeing is they are using the roads we built for the border wall, they are using it to get into the country because we never finished it. it's basically a crime scene. they are getting 500 families a day crossing the border. watch what the sheriff told us. >> it's wide open right now. it's wide open and with the chaos going on the border based on the administrative decisions and we saw this in 2019, brian, 141 countries breached our southwest word near the nine months. over a thousand gang members, 822 assaults on agents. 271 deaths on our border. this is a crime scene and this is what we just put together. we had it under control. this is frustrating and now it's

going back to 2019. it's frustrating. steve: brian. brian: well, it's unbelievably frustrating and now we have the team, the biden people are going down there to see for themselves but they set up what is called an ellis island like hub and now the people that will be coming in, they will be putting them right into our country, into homes and working-class communities, just quicker. think they that's humanitarian. by the way who is giving biden t shirts in mexico that they are walking through with? is there somebody behind this? steve: ainsley, to your original point before we heard from the mother, you know, they may be bringing weapons, they may be bringing drugs. what about the fact that so many have coronavirus. they have been testing people -- i'm out of time so we will have to tell that story a little later on.

congresswoman joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning, ainsley, how are you doing? ainsley: i'm doing great. we played the soundbite of you on the house floor and we said as a team we have to get her on the show. the producers called you while we were live on air. you are speaking for law enforcement all over the country which is important, how does this affect you personally, tell us about your husband? >> my husband matt is a 14-year department veteran local first responder here in gainesville and you actually see behind me right here. this is his s.w.a.t. vest because he's a s.w.a.t. medic not just the sheriff's office but also gainesville police department in addition to being a firefighter. he truly is a public servant and you talk about so-called reform that democrats call it, it's call to defund the police. what few people know is that this vest and so many other

pieces of saving equipment comes from the 1033 program which gets labeled as militarization of our department. that's not true. there are absolutely life-saving pieces of equipment that goes to rural departments that can't afford them. why are we pushing a bill that does that, meaning taking this kind of equipment off of my husband's back and so many others when there's real reforms that we can make to make our police, the departments better and stronger, more responsive. this is just a back door attempt to defund the police and i'm terrified for my husband's life as well as many with uniform across the country. they have been under attack for so long. that is why i just felt so compel today get on the house floor and speak out. ainsley: well, i know that the bill puts limits on military equipment like drones and weapons. when you look at the vest, when you look at your husband's guns or whatever he needs to do to

protect his life, it's not just a vest, it's not just a piece of metal, what is it to you? >> you know, it's the thing that is keeping him coming home at night. i have had to wake up with him at 2:00 o'clock in the morning when a massive call-out comes through and there's a man barricading himself with weapons trying to kill his own children. the callout that he gets that i'm sitting at home wondering is he going to make it back and the only -- the only comfort that i have is this vest. that's it. ainsley: well, thank you for standing up for law enforcement and for pushing this because we want them to come home at night. i noticed behind you have a book there. >> yes. just another wonderful momento that biden administration is calling offensive.

unlike many districts across the country have had extended problems between and among the teachers union, the local teachers union and the board of education in coming to reasonable agreements over reasonable periods of time to retro fit, upgrade the schools and open them for in-person learning. in our case, there is a fairly con tensionous relationship between board and teachers union. we are dealing with moving goal posts as far as teachers union's demands, vaccines, it's very difficult to nail down an objective set of parameter that is can be met so that the schools can open safely and, in fact, the teachers have refused to go back to school. brian: 3 times, carrie, they said they were going to open up and 3 times they delayed it, delayed it. your daughter is paying a severe price. she's been diagnosed with

depression. >> yes, hi levels of depression and anxiety and had school refusal. refuses to participate in any school or any academic activities. brian: so they try to put her on an antidepressant at 11 years old. it does not change our opinion and that is everything stays close. so, steve, tell me about the suit, how many people are involved? how many parents because 75% of the people in new jersey think all schools should be open. tell me about the suit. >> that's right, brian. we took into our own hands a group of plaintiffs who had been active in the community and really filed suit on behalf of all young learners in the community particularly for those who haven't had a voice or advocate because of the overwhelming support to open the schools. i think the main thrust of the

federal suit that we filed is really to give the parents who are advocates for the children an active seat at the table in these negotiations. as mentioned, the board and the teachers union continue to be at a stalemate. they are, in fact, if their own litigation. we felt that the only way to intervene forcefully was to file in federal court and to give ourselves a voice and a seat at that table to move this to, you know, a settlement and to get the schools open as soon as possible. brian: yeah, you don't want a babysitter and you see regression and they don't want to do it. carrie, for your child to have depression, not wanting to get out of pajamas, not wanting to participate. this is a fire alarm fire for you and your family and all the others and other families haven't joined because they are afraid of the culture cancel,

right? >> that's true. way more people who had reached out to me and contacted me are interested, a lot more than the ultimately the 9 families that we got to file the suit. it's a real fear there. brian: well, hopefully this will scare the government to get involved, other people to get involved and realize it's kids first and not teachers first. thanks so much for telling your story. by the way we reached out to montclair superintendent office's but since it is an active case they say they are unable to comment but you guys are. we will stay on top of it. thanks so much. all right. meanwhile straight ahead the white house now in damage control mode as they attempt to defend joe biden's neanderthal comment, fox weekend host joins us to discuss.

>> fundamentally change nature of the disease because of the way we get vaccines in people's arm the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking to take off masks. >> does the president have any second thoughts about the language that he used yesterday? >> the behavior of a neanderthal just to be clear. the behavior of. i think the president, what everybody saw yesterday was a reflection of his frustration and exasperation. steve: there's good swing. >> good morning. >> good morning. steve: jed, let's start with you, jen psaki trying to fix joe biden who won't rogue the other day, on wednesday, he said it

was neanderthal thinking and she said it was the behavior of a neanderthal but nonetheless had to fix it because he went off script. >> that was a terrible choice of words and they should own that and apologize for it. poor choices of words, no politician, no president, no presidential candidate seems to be a stranger to them these days. but i'm more concerned actually in the lack of curiosity by the administration in what is actually working. if you look around the country they should be sitting and studying why places like california and florida who had very, very different approaches, i mean, florida stayed open, businesses are thriving, california has essentially been shut down for so long. people have essentially fled the state and yet the numbers per capita of infections are about the same. you take then the same protocol going on in florida and you shift it over to a place like north or south dakota and the numbers go up. there's a lot of factors. what they're doing is sitting

down with healthcare experts and saying what are the other factors here and they need to acknowledge that all of these states are different. they are different populations, they are different density in terms of housing. there's a lot of things. there's different weather in terms of ability to be outdoors. these governors need some flexibility in addressing this virus because there are different circumstances in every state. listen, if it doesn't work it's an experiment and the numbers will reflect that and i don't doubt that governors will make an adjustment but the language and approach doesn't seem to be productive in any capacity right now. ainsley: governor of mississippi said we don't need handlers. we got this. senator marco rubio sarcastically tweeted after the neanderthal comment, it's hurtful to modern europeans, asian americans who inherit 2% of genes from ancestors. he should apologize for insensitive comments and seek training on unconscious bias.

will, what's your reaction? will: i think it's brilliant. wonderful tweet. it's fighting fire with fire because you know that would be the response from democrats if that was uttered from a republican. i will actually accept joe biden on the terms. let's talk about what neanderthal thinking might be. neanderthal thinking is rejecting science and data and most suggest it's safe to open society, certainly our schools. we know that most transmissions of coronavirus are within the home and neanderthal would reject science and data. like, i don't know, government mandate, the exact thing that biden is defending while guys like greg abbott are embracing a modern western enlightenment idea of individual responsibility and freedom. as i look at this, the biden administration is embracing neanderthal thinking.

i hope i didn't offend anybody by the adoption of joe biden's analogy. brian: sounds like you're word about offending people, will. pete, governor lamont must be thinking because he's loosening restrictions there. the alabama governor isn't, it's called giving states a chance to run the state, pete. what's wrong with that? >> pete: well, that's right messy and authoritarian are easy even if they don't work. i feel great about it. i feel like i have earned a merit badge, i had my deplorable badge, smelly wal-mart people badge and then my olive garden badge and now i have my neanderthal badge but nothing but a badge that you should wear of honor. that's how they characterize people who prefer freedom over easy mandates and in this particular case good on texas for what they're doing. you want to talk about

neanderthal thinking, how about on-demand late-term abortions, that's front and center on the democratic agenda as well. we can throw names and labels, i don't know if it's helpful. good on people to have a personal choice to wear masks. it's about time. steve: jed, before you go, can you tell us what we can expect this weekend on "fox & friends"? >> yeah, i would love to, i don't have the list, kelly, can you give me that? steve: here is what we are going to do. i'm going to whisper and you say -- >> claudia tenney and rob, stuart, varney. a guy -- >> ainsley: i can't believe that you put him on.

geraldo hi, ainsley. ainsley: what do you think about all of this? geraldo: what do i think of andrew cuomo? i think that he rused the day he ever heard janice dean's name and i think that our colleague, our great meteorologist having suffered the loss of her in-laws in nursing homes because infect ed patients were brought back into the facilities. she started the crusade that has resulted in this cascading catastrophe for governor cuomo. it is clear, i mean, i don't know where to begin the various allegations that are wrecking, you know, the ruin of his ambitions and his career, but clearly, the rewriting of the death tolls in the nursing homes is something that many officials in new york state will now have to, you know, confront. what did they do? here he is, andrew cuomo, writing this book, celebrating his triumphs as the

administrator who was guiding the empire state through this catastrophe, even as he was writing it comes across this figure, 9,000 are already dead in the nursing homes what the hell is this he says, so they begin rewriting, it seems, the death toll, and saying well, the person did not actually die in the nursing home facility, and was, for example, an extremity taken out of the nursing home and brought to the hospital and expired in the hospital then it's not a nursing home death that's a hospital death. you can see how they manipulated these figures, they rewrote the figures, and according to governor cuomo's own key aid, melissa derosa, they did it because they feared the trump adminitration would use it as a political part against governor cuomo. he deserved to be belted around with this increasing death toll, this body count, but the story is still unraveling, we don't know if any crime was committed, for example. are these judgment calls that

cuomo said famously, oh, they died, they died. you know, but we'll be rewriting itself, be fraudulent, that will remain to be seen with this investigation by leticia jamie spears, the attorney general of the united states. brian: so geraldo you've seen so many investigations before and you know what happens. in the past if governor cuomo's past is prologue, he's going to blame staffers, but that's when he looks like a rising political figure and now you got four staffers going to health officials rewriting their program, their report. nine have quit. we haven't gotten their story yet and then you got three staffers with their fingerprints on it. one quit already and we haven't gotten their story yet. how long until these damn breaks and he is the maestro conducting

the deception. geraldo: i think it will take a grand jury, brian. i really think you need that kind of forum. it's one thing to be in the new york times and the new york post and the wall street journal all in the same day, all reporting generally the same story. that's damming to cuomo, but remember cuomo is not up for re-election this year. he can wait this out. i think that that be his strategy, knowing him, he'll be very active and creating, you know, remedial programs for those affected negatively by the pandemic. he will do good work, he will be here, he will be there trying with his energy and his shear, you know, force of nature, to make people forget this , but with a grand jury grinding and going with people under oath, you know, and really doing an autopsy of what happened here , i think that what has clearly happened, brian, is that the governor's aspirations to unlike his father, be a fourth

term governor in new york state, i think that that ambition, i would, i'm no expert on new york , the inter-working of new york state politics but it would seem to me that that aspiration, to run for the fourth term and be re-elected i think that that is history, brian. steve: well one of the problems in this state of new york where we are sitting is the fact that he was reluctant to open the schools and still, so many schools are not open for in- person learning, and when you look and geraldo, we've all got kids you know what it's like when young people during this pandemic are isolated all at home, and when you look at kids in the teenagers 13-18, mental health claims are up 97%, intentional self-harm claims up 90%, overdoses up 94%, and at the same time, they looked at the number of people who went to doctors.

it was like half the normal number, but when it comes to issues about things that are bothering people, the pandemic has been terrible for them, and yet, the government has been reluctant to reopen the schools. geraldo: i've coined an expression. i think it's an original expression. i call it "zoom gloom." i see with our 15-year-old. i see it, you know, she was originally, we got down here to florida and she was originally working in her bedroom and we saw how depressed and deflated she was and isolated so we insisted that she come out and work with erica and i in the open space, you know, the living area of the house, so she didn't feel so isolated, so alone. i think that they've done a very , they've tried with zooming and this virtual learning, particularly in more affluent school districts, to do the best

they can for the children, but it is not the same. those are crucial years. we all remember from 13-18 what we were doing, you know, playing sports, hanging around, you know , school was as much about the hallways and the cafeteria as it was about the classroom, so i really think, and when you think about this whole year now lost. what if you were a senior? what if your kid was, you know, a freshman in a new school? what if they're applying to college. it has been disastrous and i'm sorry, but i look at the teacher 's unions and i really think that a reckoning is coming for these labor organizations. brian: i hope so. i hope so. geraldo: because they all reveal to be labor organizations, not public service organizations. they're not there about the kids and the learning. they're there about the rights of the teacher and the threats to the teacher, and it's all about the teacher or the teacher's unions, it's not

about education and certainly not about the children. steve: geraldo how is your daughter now that she's in the living room with you as you're trying to watch general hospital. geraldo: [laughter] ainsley: you know, geraldo -- geraldo: that's funny but i just saw her this morning and she's working hard already. ainsley: geraldo i was with a friend yesterday and she said her child has just gone back to the classroom and she's a very quiet child but she gets nervous now talking to her friends and she says mom, i can hear the words in my head but i'm too scared to talk to them because she's been zooming for all this time. we had a mom on fox & friends first earlier, and you know, because geraldo, when our children hurt, we hurt and even if your kids are back in school there are a lot of kids that are americans not back in school and those are the ones we care about so much right now but this was a mom on fox & friends first and she has two teenagers listen to what she said. >> they live in a constant state of fear of what their emotional state is going to be. i've talked to other parents and what they're witnessing in their

children as young as five years old of constant crying, of emotional disconnection from their friends and from their social peers. my biggest fear, first of all we've had such a shadow cast upon mental health, especially in our children, that we need to turn that and put a huge beam of light on this and let them know that this is not normal. things will change. ainsley: so many things have come out of this , geraldo, we're realizing it's not just the academics, it's the social settings too. our kids need this right now. geraldo: they certainly do, ainsley. that's so well-put. the problem is exacerbated in families of more modest means. you know, we have high-function ing families, middle class families, kids have good wi-fi, they have great computers, they are used to the screen but we live in cleveland. in cleveland it's a whole different story and in cleveland it's a battered inner city school district.

many many disfunctional families , god bless them, you know, bad wi-fi, lousy electronics, poor supervision, just imagine what has happened. we have to really, because we are so privileged, we have to pause and take a deep breath and understand what has happened to the neediest families amongst us maybe some of them are watching right now. you know, the dad is not there. the mom has a job. she can't work, she's dealing with a six and alternative- year-old, you know, this is when the true toll of this pandemic is added up, these children, and this report hints at it with these overdoses and depression and so forth, will really be stunning how much we have lost because how much they have lost. brian: i just want to qualify one thing. zoom is an equal opportunity offender. you could have the best wi-fi and a couch in your room, but after a couple of days, you have

the same depressing deception emotionally that's what we're seeing and really it's harder on innercity no question but it doesn't matter if you have a ton of money and your parents got 20 mansions. if you're not in the hallways at your locker, on your team, in your classroom, you are paying the price. the woman i talked to today in new jersey, montclair new jersey they've been shutdown, and her daughter 11 years old diagnosed with depression, can't get her out of pajamas and trying to put her on antidepressants, this is an a students. geraldo: zoom gloom. right, you too. steve: it's a perfect description. brian: yeah, but gloom is not a way to describe carley shimkus, she's always got a smile. reporter: thank you so much, brian. got a big update to bring you here. two dozen scientists are calling for a new investigation into the origins of covid-19. >> there really are a number of

things that were not done properly during this investigation, and we think that our letter provides a strong mandate to do a new investigation. reporter: they argue the probe has flaws due to chinese influence. the world health organization is now scrapping plans to release an interim report, and instead, will release the full report later this month. >> a woman is shot during a robbery at a famed beverly hills restaurant. police say three suspects ran inside the restaurant and grabbed a man by the back of his neck, demanding he hand over his watch worth around $400,000. the man fought back, grabbing one of the robber's guns and started firing. a woman was hit in the calf by a ricocheting bullet. she was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. >> mississippi lawmakers pass a bill banning transgender athlete s from competing in female sports. several states are taking up the controversial issue now. an i'd o ha state university

brian: all right, president biden reportedly taking secret measures reverse some of president trump's policies overseas eliminating the number of, get this , counterterrorism drone strikes, outside of battlefield zones like afghanistan and syria but after trump's success in the middle east, is this really the right move? if we see a terrorist somewhere else should we not take our shot here to react is retired four star general fox news senior strategic an a just general jack keane. general do you like this pairing back and the narrowing of drone strikes? >> no, it doesn't make any sense. you know, president biden made a huge philosophical statement that america is back and what this appears to be, america is back to obama's policy here, because obama controlled air

strikes out of the white house, and that's just a known fact. i reviewed the washington journal's, i reviewed for the wall street journal secretary goetz's book and he really came on strong about the obama administration meddl ing in military tactical and operational issues, so here we are again. so what is actually driving this it's the guarantee that obama tried to impose and now biden is trying to impose of no civilian casualties and the issue is guaranteed. what that means is centralized control then, and layering of approval of strikes up the chain of command, with lawyers at each level. so for our viewers to understand , we got to target. the people on the ground and the people looking at it confirm ed as an executable target questions an al qaeda organization, but now, its got to go up to the chain of command and what happens is this takes hours and we've got drones doing

circles in the sky and what happens? we lose the target. this happened time and time again, for command is very frustrated. what trump came in and said look , there's no such thing as guaranteeing no civilian casualties. let's have a policy of reasonably ensuring that there's no civilians that are going to be hurt here. it's impossible to guarantee it and that led to the over- centralization and that was a policy certainly supported by a tactical commanders and it gave them the authority to make the judgments themselves. they are very experienced. they know how to do this and do it, brian, in concert with american values. people out there are not going to intentionally hurt civilians on the battlefield. brian: not in america, and i will say this. he was chairman of foreign relations he should know better, remember ben rhodes telling generals what to do in afghanistan and that's what goet

z wrote about and let's take a number of u.s. drone strikes that spiked in 2019 we were using these effectively in the past and use this in a way that doesn't put our people in danger but yet takes the enemy off the battlefield and let's talk about that. our base has been rocketed twice over the last few weeks and we answered a few days ago and you're seeing some of that, with a strike into syria one of the malitia but there's a story out today that up until the last second, joe biden had president biden had two sites picked out. he backed off one, when reports had a spotting of a woman and a child in an open courtyard. was that the right move? >> well that was recommended bisect of defense austin. they had the targets and now civilians in the presence of the air strike we're not going to pull the trigger when that's going on. the only time we would pull a trigger under those circumstances where civilians are in danger close, so to speak, if our ground

troops were being adversely affected by military forces in the area. then we would have accepted the degree of risk to that but this was likely the right call. i don't question that call. brian: so there's, we're in the nomination season, and we see the confirmation season in some cases outside and we have another controversial nominee so to speak. he's a top pentagon policy planner going for this position. his name is collin cowl, and he has a few tweets he's got to explain for himself that have been written about guys that you know well. for example, one of the tweets, from collin, march of 2017. even mattis can't get his people in place, without and gop are a clown show, don't like government and are incapable of running one and he writes in october, the gop used to pride themself as a party that puts values front and center in u.s. and foreign policy and now now debates themselves as the party of trump and now in may 2019 every republican senator upheld trump's veto now

shares ownership of the world's worst humanitarian crisis, and saudi arabia trying to pushback on the rebel whose are on their doorstep and sponsored and supported by iran. what would you, how would you vote, general? >> well, i don't get into the politics of this thing, but here is what i will say. i think it serves the country better when we pick people who are going to go into policy formulation, particularly in the department of defense and the national security council where we're doing a very complicated issue who don't have a deep partisan and passionate past for those partisan attributes that you just described. i mean, trump nominated a person like this as well, and couldn't get it through. the republican-controlled senate confirmation process, so i think it's a mistake to nominate somebody like this. there are plenty of people that

are out there that don't share those kind of partisan views. the secretary of state, for example, tony blinken, jake sullivan the national security advisor, they don't have those kind of deep partisan views and they disagree with trump policy for sure and they have a difference as to what they are going to do with foreign policy and national security and that's to be expected in a democratic administration, but let's stay away from this partisan stuff, which i think just pollutes the political environment and corrupts good decision-making based on policy and fact-based analysis. brian: there's a huge downside. this used to be overheard maybe they are having a beer and someone might be in the next booth. now it's on public display forever, and you have to realize if you want a political future you might have to pay for that, and maybe he will. general, good point. great points as usual. thanks so much. >> yeah, good talking to you brian have a great weekend.

major college football game, and then the first to officiate a bowl game and the first to officiate in a big 10 stadium. >> she talked like an athlete that understands the game is the best potential for being an official. >> that's because thomas has always been an athlete. born into a sports-loving mississippi family, happy to play with the boys, as she did in fifth grade, the only girl on her basketball team. ultimately, thomas earned a basketball scholarship to the university of mobile, alabama but it was later getting tossed out of a men's league because she was female, that spurred her to pickup the whistle. >> god closes one door and it's like another one or two or three open for you. >> and this 47-year-old mother of three, tackles a full family life, while shattering the glass ceiling. >> letting her see that she can

be a girl and she doesn't have to ask, can girls do that? like i have so many times, is very meaningful. she wants to be a ref just like me. >> and her daughter is not the only one inspired. i had more people text me or send me a picture of their daughter watching the super bowl and they had never watched it before. >> you've opened a door, there are many young women who would like to walk through, what would you say to them? >> i'd tell them to throw their shoulders back and keep their head high and walk through that door and know that they is a chair at the table for them to pull up to and their voice can be heard. >> thomas has forged a path and there are many women now moving up the ranks whether it's refereeing at collegiate conferences or working at the nfl officiating development program. ainsley back to you. ainsley: molly i was reading there were more women in on- field roles for the super bowl this year than ever before.

there was a strength coach, athletic trainer, scouting assistant, assistant defensive line coach and a few others, for the chiefs and for the bucc s, and that's wonderful, gives me chills. >> yeah, remarkable year, and she was fabulous, and we were honored to talk to her. ainsley: where did you say she was from, mississippi? >> mississippi! yes. ainsley: a southern girl, thanks so much, molly good job. for more stories like this you can head to foxnews.com/americatogether and now to a fox news alert. the february jobs report just released. the u.s. adding 379,000 jobs last month, breaking down those numbers, we're going to do that for you right after the break. plus, one of governor cuomo's accusers speaking out. will her interview with cbs change the game and force cuomo to step down, judge jeanine is going to react to the bombshell allegations, next.

that is beginning to open up? let's bring injustice with jeanine, the same woman that hosts the show judge jeanine she will be on this weekend but first she's on with us. judge the economy is coming back on its own. >> yeah, it sure sounds like it , but look. look, that $1.9 trillion has nothing to do with the pandemic. 91% of it is for other things, so you shouldn't be surprised they want to move it along anyway because you know, it's just for the people affected by covid. steve: right, 10 million people still out of work, but the number, nonetheless, is really good, they had expected 210,000, it's almost double that at 379. more on that throughout the day but in the meantime judge our big story this morning is the wall street journal had a blockbuster report late yesterday, that apparently governor cuomo's advisors altered the report on the number of nursing home deaths apparently in the month of july.

the actual number was 10,000 people had died so far from nursing homes, but they looked at that number and they said oh, that's not good, and so they paired it down to 6,400. they knowingly presented a wrong number and now, they're spinning it as well we didn't know if we could trust that. >> well, you know, look. i've said for a long time that andrew cuomo is a bully, he is a fraud, and his excuse that he used along with his top aid melissa derosa was, you know, we were worried about the big bad trump and the big bad trump department of justice, but this lays that out as a real lie , shock, the governor of new york is a liar. i mean, as if politicians don't lie enough. this guy is lying about the fact that as early as july, before the feds even got involved and were even thinking about him,

he's having a knock down, his staff is having a knock down drag out with the health officials because he wants to cover up the number of deaths. this is all the way back in july he's getting ready to write his book. he cannot afford to have that number laid out. at this time, we know that the health officials are fighting with melissa derosa, lisa lacewell, and another guy named jim melatras. they are his warriors and part of the conspiracy involved in an effort to off could up these nursing home deaths. it went way back to the beginning. andrew cuomo is not just a bully , but he is a guy who engaged in a conspiracy. he is a guy who decided when people should die, when he wrote that order on march 25, he and god decided when death would enter into nursing homes, when people who should have died with dignity in their last years were

affected by an illness that no one knew how to resolve and no one knew how to solve. i mean, andrew cuomo is responsible for each one of those deaths, and like any other criminal, like any other serial predator this is a guy who covered it up. he got people around him to cover it up and he cannot be allowed to get away with this. his actions are out and out fraudulent, they are conspirator ial, and i said six weeks ago this guy should be confronted with a grand jury should hear criminally neglect homicide, manslaughter in the second degree which is a reckless homicide as well as the abuse of the elderly as well as endangering the welfare of the elderly. this guy, by his own hand, decided when people would die. ainsley: judge one of his accusers charlotte bennett of sexual harassment was in an interview and some played last night and she said the governor is trying to sleep with me is what she thought based on some inappropriate

questions he asked her and she said i've got to get out of this room but after watching him on tv he was unteachable because he had the power listen to this. >> the pandemic was obviously stressful for all of us and he was on tv, nearly everyday, talking about it. >> so you think all this national attention may have emboldened him? >> absolutely. i think he felt like he was untouchable in a lot of ways. ainsley: jeanine? >> yeah, look, here is the bottom line. he is your classic serial predator. he starts by grooming these victims and we know of three so far, i guarantee you there are more and more of them. he lies. he brought her into his office, during the workday, he asked if she was comfortable being intimate with a man. he told her that she was not too young for him. he told her that she was lonely. i mean, he did everything but

actually engage in an act with her. that is the use of power in a workplace setting that is the essence of sexual harassment and make no mistake, he didn't apologize for it, he wasn't sorry for it, and to lend credibility to this complaint, she made an immediate outcry to chief of staff, to chief counsel he knew about this. did he apologize to her? i didn't hear it. did you hear it, and with respect to the other victims in this case, he said he never touched anyone in a way that was unwanted. the picture of that girl, the young woman whose on the front page of the post, she was petrified, as he's biting his lip holding on to her face telling her he wants to kiss her this guy is an out of control sexual serial predator. he's got to be taken out of albany and the sooner that happens, the bit better. brian: justice you have a great , judge you have a great lineup, jason miller is on,

peter navarro, congresswoman lauren bovert will be there and from the left coast darrel issa, dave ruben, are you even going to have time for your monologue with all those guests? >> not only do i have time for my opening statement, i'm now making a closing statement which is the knock-out punch at the end of the show so that seem s to be working well so we're doing an opening and a closing, so, be there, brian. steve: and i've got a feeling you're going to say things in the middle as well so tune in tomorrow night for justice with judge jeanine. >> thank you. thanks guys. steve: you bet, good weekend, meanwhile, coming up, you could be $10,000 richer by this weekend, as part of the fox bet super 6 quiz, tom is here with a preview the actual questions you need to know to win, ainsley. ainsley: first let's check in with dana perino for what's coming up at the top of the hour >> and to you, thank you so much love judge jeanine she's on fire, and we'll talk about that too, reports that governor cuomo aids forced help death officials to skew the nursing home death

quiz. question number two. steve: we'll see. >> don't always go with the favorite because if you go every time it's not the way to win you got to work on this quiz , so number two. of the following drivers who will end in the best position at the pennzoil 400? kevin harvick, kyle busch, martin true ex jr. , joey legano , and denny hamlin. so one of those guys might not win but whose going to end up in the best position? ainsley: i think kevin harvick will even though martin true ex is favored. steve: i think winning is the best position but i'll go with denny hamlin. >> how about this we do everything on the quiz show here who is going to win the best original screen play at the critics choice awards? trial of chicago 7 or never rarely sometimes. ainsley: okay it could be a tie. last year it was a tie i'm going to go with c. steve: i am too, because it's
